foremost members Of the society. Father
Anderledy was very prominent In the Ultra
montane League agitation In 1s47, and
shortly after the League came 10 an untimely
end he was appointed superior Of the prov
ince Of Prussia. He was next promoted TO
the high post Of Assistant for Germany"
with jurisdiction over Austria, Switserland,
Belgium, Holland and Scandinavia. Father
Andaledy's long connection with Germany
IL not unlikely to have an important infiu-
ence upon present and future negotiations
between Berlin and the Vatican. He il
man Of polished manners and autocratic
temper. Among his many accomplishments
not the least II his knowledge Of languages
He speaks with remarkable ease and fluency
French, Italian, German, Spanish and
English.
Ros Alula, the Abyssinian chief, who

Of middle height, has chocolate-coloredsk skin
and thin face, but Is otherwise rather stout.
He never laughs, talks slowly, Is polite to
strangers, but naughty to interiors. His
orders are only given once. II they are not

crs. A red fez covers his close-cut hair. On
special occasions he wears red silk shirt, the
robe of the governor. He is an excellent
horseman, and It will be difficult to find an
Abyssinian who bears the hardships of trav-
cling better than he. Having had no educa-
ton, he can neither write nor read, but is
very intelligent and cunning, yet pious and
superstitious withal. His avarice Is extreme;
he takes everywhere, and gives nowhere.
Wherever he goes he takes everything he can
lay hold of. On his marches he il accom-
panied by his servants, who carry his wine.
Tennyson's home in the Isle of Wight IL
a modest one; he has only one man-servant
in the house, but It is as comfortable and
pleasant a. most households of the same
class. II Is the poets manners and customs
which give It its individuality. 1t is under
stood that visitors do not disturb the great
mans ways, and that he behaves in precisely
the same manner when he has company as
when he has not. Every morning, in hail,
rain or snow, the poet dons his frouzy cap
and his frouzier slouch hat, and promenades
for an hour or 80, none daring to disturb
him. Every day at dinner bottle of port is
placed before the host, and Tennyson retires
with it generally when dessert comes on),
and leaves his guests at the table. The poet
is to be found in his study with his bottle by
his side, and huge dock-glass holding q
pint This is filled half with port and half
with water, and the bard solemnly fills and
refills till bottle and glass are empty.
Thomas Bernard Mcguire, Of the general
executive board, Knights of Labor, is one of
the most energetic and lively Of men. He
talks 30 quickly and powerfully that he up
sets all his listeners nerves, and after two or
three hours leaves him crushed and wilted.
The Knights of Labor have had more Of Q
peculiar kind ofinformation from New York
time, and the fights between workingmen
have been on . narrower basis than at any
other time. Mcguire was in East st. Louis
at the time of the railroad riots, year ago,
as T. B. Brown, of the East. He carried
$4,000 Of the executive board of the
knights of Labor money in his clothes, and
every dollar was rigidly accounted for. He
denies that all this fight against the trades
unions Is his work.
Hannibal Hamlin, who was elected to the
vice-Presidency ON the same ticket with Lin.
coin, will be seventy-nine next August, but
he is seen in the streets Of Bangor on the
coolest days of winter in his clawhammel
coat, without the unnecessary adjunct of an
overcoat. He walks mile at q stretch with
the alacrity of boy, just for "constitu
tional." He knows everybody and every
body knows him. His chief relaxation Is II
fishing. He employs the old-fashioned an
gle worm for bait, and discards all the new
tangled appliances for capturing the finny
tribe. Heis exceedingly gay in the ballroom
At the legislative reunion last winter b,
participated in every dance and then wen
home in the morning with the prettiest gir
on the floor.
